5	Tuesday, May 12, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	2nd out of 7	A good race! Just like two weeks ago, 45 seconds faster and we would have won!
6	Tuesday, May 19, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	6th out of 8	We executed well but couldn't maintain boat speeed. Lots of commercial traffic!

12	Tuesday, June 23, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	8th out of 9	Not even close. Jester took us off the start line and we never recovered. (Death to Jester hereafter!).

16	Saturday, June 27, 2009	Sail for Hoodlums	1st out of 2	A wild ride in brisk winds. We trounced Vulture, our only other competitor in PHRF A3
17	Tuesday, July 14, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	7th out of 9	We had our own little regatta at the back of the fleet. We fended off Vulture and reeled in Jubilee.
18	Tuesday, July 21, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	7th out of 9	A truly bad start (blame the driver). It was all we could do to surpass Jubilee.

22	Tuesday, Aug 25, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	5th out of 9	We were 4th until the JHU Honor Code compelled us to 5th! RC recorded incorrect finish time for us. I reported it.
23	Tuesday, Sep 1, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	8th out of 9	Light, shifty air at the start put us behind and we never recovered.
24	Saturday, Sep 5, 2009	Annapolis Race Week - Race 1	9th out of 10	Typical ARW weather...no air, slow plodding race.
25	Saturday, Sep 5, 2009	Annapolis Race Week - Race 2	7th out of 10	They actually started this race in 3.5 kt of wind. We were five minutes late for the start. A miracle we beat anyone!
26	Sunday, Sep 6, 2009	Annapolis Race Week - Race 4 (They skipped race 3?)	6th out of 10	A great day for sailing! Winds 6-12 kt and plenty of sun.
27	Sunday, Sep 6, 2009	Annapolis Race Week - Race 5	9th out of 10	Somehow we started the last spinnaker run in touch with the fleet, but finished six minutes after the boat ahead! A mysterious hole in the wind that followed us.
28	Sunday, Sep 6, 2009	Annapolis Race Week - Race 6	4th out of 10	By far, our best race of the weekend.
29	Monday, Sep 7, 2009	Annapolis Race Week - Race 7	7th out of 10	Another good air day. We sailed well and if we could have shaved 50 seconds off our time, it would have been a fifth place.
30	Monday, Sep 7, 2009	Annapolis Race Week - Race 8	6th out of 10	An good race for us with an exciting finish. ARW overall we were 8th out of 10
31	Tuesday, Sep 8, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	6th out of 9	Our best start and first ever to the mark as a PHRF A boat, but the freighter caused a recall!! What luck!
32	Tuesday, Sep 15, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	7th out of 9	A good start and excellent speed to windward mark. Couldn't match up downwind.
33	Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	9th out of 9	Very light air (but no holes!). But, OUCH...our first DFL of the year
34	Tuesday, Sep 29, 2009	Tuesday Night Racing	Race Committee wimped out!	Just because there were gusts to 25 kt, race was cancelled. We held an ad hoc race with Dark Crystal, Trixie, and Zulu out to FSK buoy and back to C mark. We won.
35	Sunday, Oct 4, 2009	Fall Sunday Racing	3rd out of 7	Excellent sailing conditions! Sunshine, 12 to 20 kt wind.
36	Sunday, Oct 11, 2009	Fall Sunday Racing	3rd out of 6	Another very good sailing day! Sunshine, 10 kt wind.
37	Saturday, Oct 17, 2009	USS Constellation Cup	9th out of 9	Cold and rainy with beam reach winds 12-20 kts. We couldn't shake Airwaves and Dark Crystal and we owe both time! Congrats to Jubilee IV for a good win!
38	Sunday, Oct 18, 2009	Fall Sunday Racing	1st out of 1	It's still a win even if you are the only boat to show up!
39	Saturday, Oct 24, 2009	Baltimore Harbor Leukemia Cup	5th out of 7	BHLC lived up to its reputation! Strong S wind, downwind all the way. 17.2 nm in 2h 21m, average speed 7.3 kt!
40	Sunday, Oct 25, 2009	Fall Sunday Racing	4th out of 4 1st out of 9 for series	But, I was single handed! And, by showing up we won the series!
41	Sunday, Nov 8, 2009	Fall Sunday Racing	1st out of 4	Old UK sails and a shortened course. Infrared's Finnish blood must be stimulated by the cooler air and water temps, we were fast all the way!
42	Sunday, Nov 15, 2009	Fall Sunday Racing	2nd out of 4	Infrared again performed magnificantly! We would have been first but for Bob's really bad call on the jibe to the mark and Gael Force luckily finding a lifted wind lane late in the race.
43	Sunday, Nov 22, 2009	Fall Sunday Racing	3st out of 4 3rd out of 4 for series	Didn't quite replicate the speed of the previous two weeks. More of a reach this time.
